If the default swap basis for a particular credit is significantly negative and you believe that it should be zero, how should you trade?

Suppose that you are long 1000 September Bund futures contracts. Each contract has size €100,000. The bond that is currently cheapest to deliver into the contract has a conversion factor of 0.8000 and a BPV of 0.07800. If Bund yields were to increase by 1 basis point, approximately what mark-to-market profit or loss would you expect to make on your position?

Suppose that you think that interest rates are likely to decrease. You decide to trade this view by entering into an interest rate swap. Should you pay fixed or receive fixed in the swap?

What is the 3 hypertensives

There are 3 parts to this practical portion. All three parts require you to run commands in a pwn.college dojo terminal. Navigate to the: Pondering paths module and activate the terminal in the root challenge.  Part 1 Everything in Linux is a file, even operating system specifics. Read the /etc/issue.net file to determine which Linux distribution version the dojo is running. Record the commands you used and the result in your answer. Part 2 Task: Navigate to /usr/bin and perform a long-format listing of all files starting with “s”. Task: Save that listing to a file in your home directory named s_commands.txt. Task: Change the permissions of s_commands.txt so the Owner has read/write access, but Group and Others have no permissions (numeric or symbolic). Commands listing requirement: List all commands used to complete this task including the number of paths Screenshot 2 Requirement: A listing of your home directory showing the new file and its updated permissions. Part 3 The wc command counts words by default, but is also useful for counting lines. Task: Find all files in the /etc directory ending in .conf (with a search depth of 2). Task: Count how many of these files exist using a pipe and the wc command. Task: Count the number of file paths saved in this file (except for /etc/deluser.conf, don’t count that one). Requirements: What is the count? List all the commands used to get the count .conf files Part 4 Task: Search /etc/passwd for lines containing “nologin” and redirect those lines to a file named restricted_users.txt. Task: Count how many users were listed using a pipe and the wc command. Requirements: List the count and all the commands used to solve this part. Clearly answer all 4 parts within this text box for this question.
